The three major topics listed by Yang Yingqi do not mention at least on the surface the question of how to divide the cake, because in this kind of high-sounding meeting, what is to be discussed is something more "fundamental" and more illusory than the distribution of interests, and how to cut the cake will actually be decided before the meeting. Thus, the date of the meeting was set in the middle of 1680, several months before the letters reached the hands of the invitees, and all the forces took advantage of this time to bargain.

What is the result of the bargaining Yang Yingqi is not worried at all, because as long as he is willing to bargain, the person who comes to bargain and the forces he represents will be included in the rules of this game! The rules of the game were formulated by Yang Yingqi (Hanbu), as long as the heroes of the world enter the sheepfold, no matter how he (Hanbu) plays, he (Hanbu) will not suffer.

As far as proximity is concerned, the current power of the Han Dynasty can be divided into two major plates: internal (the original power of the Han Dynasty) and external (the gentry of the Central Plains), but in fact, the forces of these two major plates have already penetrated each other, resulting in various intersections, such as the great Confucian scholars in the Central Plains gentry and the famous literati in the Han Dynasty are easy to come together, which can take Hu Anguo as an example: this old gentleman has never dealt with the Han Department before, but as soon as he entered the Shandong Peninsula, not only within a few months, not only most of the students of Penglai School fell under his seat, Even the mountain chief of the Guanning School also crossed the sea to ask for education - this is the phenomenon of the Great Song Confucian's conquest of Han students. In turn, the forces that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty also continued to infiltrate the Central Plains, especially the merchants and generals who returned to their hearts the most, the most prominent example of which was Liu Qi's acceptance of officials and the first surrender of the big households in Hedong! Of course, there are also forces that belong to the Han Song Jingwei and have a clear distinction, such as the Northern forces represented by Aluman, and there is little intersection with the conservative gentry in the Central Plains. But with the existence of Hu Anguo, Cao Guangbi, Liu Qi and other intermediate forces that have crossed the two plates, the forces that did not intersect can also have the conditions to come together through them.

However, just as the topic of this enlarged meeting in China has its illusory nature under the high-sounding sound, the so-called division of the cake between the original forces of the Han Dynasty and the gentry forces of the Central Plains is actually not the most core distribution of interests, and the core distribution of interests and contradictions of interests of this new regime that is about to be born are finally concentrated on a few generals of the Han Dynasty!

Between Zhi Yanchong and Er Yang, a tacit understanding had been reached in the conversation in the back garden of the General's Mansion - in that conversation, the three of them didn't seem to talk about their respective rights and interests at all, but in fact, the mystery was already in it.

Cao Guangbi sent Shi Kang back to the Han Department to help Yang Yingqi a long time ago, which showed his support for Yang Yingqi, and Yang Yingqi also needed an echo from the military, so Cao Er's rights and interests were handled by Yang Yingqi, and the interests of the two were bound together, so as long as Yang Yingqi and Zhi Yanchong reached a consensus, Cao Guangbi would no longer have any problems.

The situation on Xiao Tienu's side is somewhat similar, but he does not tie himself to Yang Yingqi, but directly to Zhi Yanchong, it can be said that Xiao Tienu is the first person to negotiate a price with Zhi Yanchong, even earlier than Aru Man who negotiated with Zhi Yanchong in the Upper Twelve Villages, because that happened before Xiao Tienu "betrayed" Zhi Yanchong.

Among the few brothers who still hold real power, it is Ouyang Shi who is the last.

At that time, it was early spring, there was still ice on the surface of the big river, Tanggu and Tangnan had not yet been merged into a new city, the "armistice text" had not yet been transmitted, Yang Kaiyuan was still on the boat to Tanggu, Ouyang Shi and Chen Xian got on the boat and went to Jinmen, the ships of the third and fourth generals of the Han Department almost passed by on the sea.

When Ouyang Shi entered the port, the frenzy caused by the return of Zhiyan Chong in Jinmen had gradually subsided, and the market had returned to normal. This was Chen Xian's first time setting foot in Jinmen, and after entering the city, he was a little disappointed, and said to Ouyang Shi: "I thought that Jinmen would be much better than Tanggu, but today it seems that it is not much worse." ”

Ouyang Shi smiled: "Of course! Tanggu is no worse than Jinmen now, and I dare to say that in two years, it will be far better than Jinmen! ”

Before arriving at the General's Mansion, Yang Yingqi, who was far away, came to greet him, entered the mansion gate, and ran out before he entered the hall, Ouyang Shi was quite satisfied with this courtesy, smiled proudly, and shouted: "Big brother." ”

Zhi Yanchong smiled and said, "Fourth brother, why did you come!" He ushered him into the lobby. After the refreshments were served, there was no fifth person in the lobby except for Zhe, Yang, Ouyang, and Chen Xian, so Ouyang Shi introduced Chen Xian to Zhe Yanchong.

Chen Xian and Yang Yingqi have met, so this time when they came to Jinmen, they focused on Zhi Yanchong, only to see him walking in a tiger's step, although he has been under house arrest for a long time, there is no trace of distress in his eyes, and he secretly wonders in his heart. Zhi Yanchong listened to Ouyang Shi's introduction to Chen Xian, but he stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Xian, Chen Xian was shocked, and hurriedly got up and said, "General, how can Chen Xian stand it!" ”

Zhi Yan said: "This ceremony is for my fourth brother!" No one understands the strengths and weaknesses of my brothers better than I do! The fourth brother has been able to maneuver between Tart Lazy, Zong Wang, Zong Fu and others in the past few years without revealing the slightest flaw, which must be due to the assistance of Lao Shangshu! And Tanggu can have today's weather, and most of the credit for it is attributed to Lao Shangshu! ”

These words made Chen Xian feel like a spring breeze, and his mouth was hurriedly humble, Ouyang Shi smiled beside him: "Big brother, Old Chen's credit is naturally great, but don't make me so unbearable." ”

Yang Yingqi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart: "The fourth brother's cultivation is still not at home. There are three points in this joke that are more true, and it is not right to say it at the right time! Chen Xian is an 'outsider' in front of the three of us after all, how can I grab this verbal credit from him! ”

Chen Xian's face naturally had no different color, and he smiled slightly: "What the fourth general said is true." ”

Ouyang Shi looked around for a moment and asked, "By the way, eldest brother, what about the third brother?" Why not there? You're not going to send him to Liaokou and Shandong, are you? ”

Zhi Yanchong smiled slightly and said: "The danger of Shandong has been solved, and there is a fifth brother in the north to deal with, so I sent him to Tanggu." ”

Ouyang Shi was stunned and said, "Tanggu? ”

"Not bad." Zhi Yan said: "I think he is the best candidate for Jingluo Yanyun." What do you think? ”

Chen Xian was also shocked when he heard this, he also expected that the power structure within the Han Ministry would be adjusted after Zhi Yanchong returned, but he didn't expect that Zhi Yanchong would do it so quickly! And as soon as you do it, it's a ruthless trick that people don't even have to return the phone!

During the period when Zhi Yanchong was under house arrest, Xiao and Cao were both outside, and Ouyang Shi's power grew the fastest within the Han Ministry. With Chen Xian's help, Ouyang Shi not only consolidated his position in the Han navy, but also infiltrated many aspects of the Han Ministry's internal affairs and diplomacy. Yang Yingqi felt that most of the factors that became more and more uncontrollable in the Han Department in the early stage of Zhi Yanchong's return were related to Ouyang Shi.

Originally, among the six younger brothers of Zhi Yanchong, whether it was Cao Er, Yang San, or Alu Manxiao Tienu, they mainly took care of military affairs, and were less involved in internal affairs. Deng Su is equal to Cao Guangbi, and Lu Yanlun is equal to Xiao Tienu, although it is also a relatively independent civil system, but the main purpose of the existence of these two small systems is also to maintain the logistics of Cao and Xiao, and they have not infiltrated the center on a large scale in turn, and developed to the point of dividing power or even competing with the center of Jinmen. Yang Kaiyuan has also taken care of extremely important government affairs, but he has always been free of power to do things, and he will relieve himself of authority when things are done. Among the six younger brothers, only Yang Yingqi, who has a weak influence in the military, is the head of the justifiable government affairs, Ouyang Shi has expanded his power in recent years, and on the surface he has divided Yang Yingqi's power, but in fact, he has touched the taboo of Zhi Yanchong! It can be said that Ouyang Shi crossed the line by doing this.

"It seems that the Great General is going to take back the power in the hands of the Fourth General!" Chen Xianxin said: "However, the gift that the general just gave to me is afraid that it is not for no reason!" He looked at Zhi Yanchong, but saw that he was talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened; looked at Ouyang Shi again, but saw that his face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes were a little flustered. This comparison, the high level made a judgment, and said in his heart: "After all, the selfishness of the four generals is too heavy, and they are not as far away as the generals." Now Hanbu is about to do big things! Internal power needs to be unified! This power of unification is exercised not by the seven generals, who represent the great generals, but by the four generals. Looking at the current situation, the four generals want to control the center after all, they are acting against the sky, and it is better to obey than to go against the tide. "As soon as I think of this, my mind is decided.

Over there, Ouyang Shi felt as if he had been stabbed in his heart, and after a long while, he rushed to Zhi Yan: "Go through Yanyun now?" It doesn't have to be that fast, right? ”

"You have to be prepared." Zhi Yan said: "Ying Qi will have a big plan next, the third brother is the one who has single-handedly forced Zong Han and Zong Wang to retreat in Liaokou, and with him sitting in Tanggu, Zong Fu will not dare to act rashly!" I expect that as soon as the third brother arrives, there will be no danger in Tanggu, and Zongfu is afraid that the third brother will attack Yanjing, and he will inevitably transfer heavy troops to the north, and the Jin Army's East Route Army will gather in Yanjing, and Hebei will be empty. At that time, not only Liu Qi and Zhao Li could wait for the opportunity to enter, but even Guangbi would feel much better in Hedong. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "But Tanggu's troops, after all, can't be compared with Liaokou." ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "Fourth brother, why are you so confused!" Even if the forces in front of Tanggu are not enough to suppress Yanjing, won't we transfer them from other places? At present, we have a large number of people in the Han Department and a large number of people, and the morale of the people is like a rainbow, and I have already implemented the recruit system in some areas and carried out the second round of large-scale expansion of the army, and Tanggu will be one of the two most important training bases for recruits. Now that the second brother is not here, and the fifth brother can't leave in the north, such a large-scale recruit training naturally has to be led by the third brother. ”

Ouyang Shi was silent, and Yang Yingqi said: "In addition, I want to merge Tanggu and Tangnan into a big city that spans both sides of a large river. Looking back at Chen Xiandao: "Old Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Xian's heart was wide, and he knew that Zhi Yanchong was so courteous, and Yang Yingqi was so inquiring at the moment, he was indeed trying to win himself over, and said at the moment: "Although Tanggu and Tangnan are separated from the two banks of the river, they have long been integrated and made into one city, which is very thoughtful. ”

Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and said: "My idea was originally just a remote strategy, but now that I have the approval of Chen Lao, it will definitely be no problem." This is a big thing, but it has to be presided over by Chen Lao! ”

Chen Xian hurriedly said: "Dare not accept the order!" ”

Ouyang Shi looked at Chen Xian, and then at Zhi and Yang, and suddenly felt a fluster, and asked Zhi Yanchong: "Big brother, now that Tanggu has a lot of civil and military affairs, what do you want me to do?" ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Xian's eyes dimmed by two points, with a little guilt in the gloom. When Yang Yingqi peeked at Zhi Yanchong, he saw him smile and said: "Naturally, there are more important and difficult things waiting for you, except for you, there is no second person in the Han Department to do this." And if this matter goes wrong, not only will our plan to deal with the Jin people be completely ruined, but it will even put Hanbu in a desperate situation again! ”

Ouyang Shi's expression was slightly gloomy when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the big deal that the eldest brother said?" ”
